Free speech is not absolute. It doesn't mean that we are free to say anything we want, wherever we want, or whenever we want.
For instance, child pornography, inciting violence, harassment, libel, and slander are all things that are not allowed under free speech.
Gag orders from courts have continually been upheld by the Supreme Court. They do not infringe on freedom of speech, as a whole. Although, they are considered in a case-by-case scenario. Trump could take his case to court if he feels that it infringes on his freedom of speech.
I don't equate child pornography to free speech. But people who are in favor of it certainly do.
Did you not understand that I'm against that?
Because I thought it was quite clear when I said that we should be grateful that free speech isn't absolute, otherwise child pornography would be legal.
Or are you making a distinction concerning the term "speech" in "free speech"?
Because "freedom of speech" is also "freedom of expression". It's not just about people actually speaking, as in talking (speech).
So freedom of speech also applies to film, photos, recordings, cartoons, texts, etc...
Free speech people agree

If you equate child pornography to speech, you speak a different language than me.

I did not say free speech. No where did I use the word FREE.
My original question still stands.
